Not the worst Blu this year, but close,
By Steve Kuehl “SLV Video” (Ben Lomond, CA) -
The price for this item was given to us as the same for DVD (both very low), which is always a concern but I gave it a shot anyway. A small mistake, made a little worse with how much I enjoyed King’s last film in Cypher. All sarcasm aside, this was a train wreck beginning to end.
The story follows three strangers on a train that decide to be greedy and take a dead man’s loot for themselves. I like all three actors in Sobieski, Glover and Zahn - but this will be a paycheck for them and little else for being remembered.
The Blu quality and DTS were both average, but the CGI was horrendous and not meant to be in 1080i (one of the few BDs I have seen where it states the “i” for the feature instead of the usual). The special features were VERY dry, and include two documentary supplements that total 50 minutes. Most of the material contains interviews and long sessions of actors talking about nothing. The priceless moment is with Sobieski though. The “Making-of” had spliced footage from the much longer takes in the “Interview Bits”, and there was this constant movement behind her chair but you couldn’t tell what it was. Once you watch both sets, you realize it is this dog sniffing around for a place to pee, which right when it starts to go on the lamp next to her - they cut it out; a good sign as to how serious these interviews were being taken.
A forgettable film with a lame ending with a below average Blu preservation. Skipper all the way.
solid thriller/sci fi thriller,
By Michael P. Dobey -
“night Train” is a good thriller/sci/fi flick that has some very good actors and a decent enough budget to be fun viewing. The movie could have been made at anytime in history though; as the story of people driven mad by greed and disposing of each other is a old one. The location this time is a train and the thriller aspect uses the claustrophobic nature of a train to good effect. At first the movie plays like a typical greed thriller when a passenger dies and everyone wants what he has. the viewer is left to wonder if it’s ‘diamonds”, “gold”, or something else?; So for a long while this movie doesn’t let on it’s science fiction aspects and that only adds a twist to the whole procedings. The train the chaarcters are on is obviously a computer generated imageor cgi train except for the interior shots, but it looks good enough; and on blu ray the whole movie of course looks as good as it can. The cast are all seasoned veterans like Danny Glover, Leelee Sobieski, and Steve Zhan are engaging enough to carry the movie to it’s conclusion. This movie is a b movie with a higher budget than most of them and while it’s not a great flick it’s a good one and it’s message about greed is timeless even with a sci-fi element added into it. Of course the best greed movie ever is probably ‘The Treasure of the Sierra madre’ with Humphrey Bogart , and that one should be seen by everyone. This one is good enough to watch and enjoy though due to it’s fine cast
